halfcactusSome snapshots from January, which was mostly cool and warmed by a string of festivities: New Year, two weddings of personal importance, and New Year again. The weather has been warming up and my AC is still broken, but I've been sleeping well and the ants aren't very active... yet...
1: The matcha latte I had on New Year’s Day
2: Fireworks at a friend's wedding
3: The lanky black dog at the AirBNB we stayed over at (its boss seemed to be a wizened corgi mix)
4: Maki mi (pork tenderloin noodle soup)... Unremarkable if not for the fact that it's the first bowl I've had in 3+ years... The meat portions were surprisingly generous, though.
5: Souvenirs from another friend’s wedding: postcards with art of the bride and groom, and my invitation which was personalized with stamps representing my interests
6: My dad’s black bean mochi
7: Birbs!!!
8: 不流的流沙包 ;__;
9: CNY hotpot!
And a playlist of songs I associate with 2024; Salamin, Salamin is also appearing in my 2025 playlist since it's apparently the wedding afterparty anthem lol.
Recently:
FEELING: Kind of guilty for being so low-energy and not being as nice or accommodating or proactive as I usually try to be for friends, but I'm trying not to overthink it... Looking back, January was a busy enough month to warrant asocialness? XD Work was stressful, the weddings wrecked my sleep cycle a couple of times (by being too exciting), and when I wasn't bingeing manhwa I was occupied with putting together little personal gifts and projects, so...
READING: The most recent webtoon I started is called Surviving Romance, a very exciting, ahem, romance-survival manhwa. The novel transmigration aspects are VERY interesting and the storytelling integrates perfectly with the art, which minimizes the amount of gore even though the plot is so violent. There's even music!!!!!!! I really hope the soundtrack is streamable omg. I'm only at around chapter 8 and OBSESSED with Rina even though I have no idea what she looks like. 10/10 for suspense, action, all-girl ensemble cast (the MLs so far just exist to give the story some framework), and building up of anticipation. I hope it doesn't flop in the second season. :")
LISTENING: Have been listening to Wanting's songs for the past few days after waking up with 我的歌聲裡 looping in my head a couple of times.
